Jeremiah 5:27-29
New American Standard Bible 1995
27 ‘Like a cage full of birds,
So their houses are full of (A)deceit;
Therefore they have become great and rich.
28 ‘They are (B)fat, they are sleek,
They also [a]excel in deeds of wickedness;
They do not plead the cause,
The cause of the [b](C)orphan, that they may prosper;
And they do not [c]defend the rights of the poor.
29 ‘(D)Shall I not punish [d]these people?’ declares the Lord,
‘On a nation such as this
Shall I not avenge Myself?’
